melissa: for more on the fiscal cliff, let's bring in congressman john carney from capitol hill. i am sure you heard the conversation before you. how close are we getting to solving this problem? >> it was a good characterization of where we are and the analogy with the peanuts characters in some ways appropriate. this is what you can expect with both sides talking about what they want, what they are willing to do and opening positions and moving a little more deliberately or slowly, frankly, to an agreement. melissa: is that movement going on? from the sidelines it looks like everyone sticking to their guns, we are not getting closer to resolution. meanwhile the clock is ticking. >> tremendous movement if you consider the difference from two or three months ago to where we are today where the republican side has considerable revenue on the table. the issue is the increase in rates versus tax reform which is an important item and on the other side, concern about specificity with respect to spending cuts and both need to happen. a number of members are interested in seeing an agre

we need to not go over the fiscal cliff. we need to come to an agreement. and the president, i think, is working hard to get there. and very frankly, i think john boehner wants to get there. the issue is whether john boehner will have the support of a majority of his party, when and if, he gets there with the president. he had an agreement with the president over a year ago. that agreement fell apart, frankly, because he could not get the support of his own party. but it's necessary for us to come to a place where we will be able to adopt a fiscally sustainable, credible path for this country. that will give great confidence to the american people and will be, in my opinion, the single largest stimulus package that we could pass for the economy. >> congressman, let's talk a little bit about john boehner, because the deal he could have gotten last year was for republicans, at least, better. do you sense he could hold together his caucus? we are not getting a lot of readouts in terms of substance, but it sounds, quote, tense up there. >> as you pointed out, t
